DeLauro Voted With Party 97% Of Time?

The Courant's publishing of U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro's record was very interesting [Dec. 5, Page 1, "DeLauro's Liberal Clout On The Rise"].

She voted 97 percent with her party and follows House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. She authored 30-plus bills; none passed, and co-authored more than 300 bills, 12 of which passed.

She may be proud of that record, but I would be embarrassed. I also find it hard to believe that she apparently believed Democratic positions were on target 97 percent of the time, based on her voting record. What is needed is to vote for what is best for our country.
